J. South,

Need I remind you that Sally Hemings had absolutely no choice in the matter 
of the legitimacy of her children. She was forbidden to marry without the 
explicit consent of her master, Thomas Jefferson. So, it would seem to me 
that the matter of the legitimacy of her children should rest in part on the 
whim of her master.

As to everyone on here being bored, I take exception to that statement. I, 
for one, am not bored with the subject, although I am a little tired of 
seeing the word "LIAR" attached to anyone who writes a different opinion 
that that of a particular poster.
